The Shell-Collector's Handbook for the Field, by

 Ludgate Hill, E.G. 



This is a small book intended for the pocket of the active 

 Field-worker, so that he can satisfy himself on the spot of the 

 name of any capture of whose identity he is in doubt. It is 

 prefaced by a general anatomical description of the two types of 

 our Land and Freshwater Shells — a freshwater mussel and a 

 Helix. The third chapter is devoted to instructions in collect- 

 ing and preserving Land and Freshwater Shells. Chapter four 

 is a conspectus of the classes, orders, genera, &c., of the 

 British species, and the descriptions are drawn up in a terse 

 and condensed style. The remainder of the work is devoted 

 to the enumeration and description of all the species and 

 varieties of our British Land and Freshwater Shells known 

 to the author at the time of publication, with concise 

 notes upon the stations frequented. The descriptive part of the 

 Volume is interleaved so that the collector may make notes of 

 any point of interest at once, without waiting until his arrival 

 home. A good feature of the book is the references given to 



J.C, v., July, 1888.
